Starbucks!

I don't know about you, but I'm hooked, addicted or what ever you want to call it, on Starbucks. It's the reason I find it easy to get up in the morning AND sometimes the reason I can't sleep at night. Every morning it's ready to go at the push of a button, in the dark and with my eyes closed.

Today, I decided to share my love of Starbucks with you and host a giveaway with creations to look, taste and smell like coffee. Not to mention the gift card and mugs.

COFFEE COOKIE BEANS

Coffee Cookie Beans and more...

These are just a few of the cookies I created using the Starbucks Theme.

I love the smell of coffee, the taste of coffee, and everything about it.

Almost a year ago, I visited Seattle for the first time and you guessed it, my first stop....the original Starbucks. Only to find out the "original" had burned down and this was the now the second Starbucks but it was totally worth the trip!

That is when I decided to do a Starbucks themed give away on the blog!

Once I got started on the cookies, I knew one of the cookies had to include a Starbucks chalkboard.

And of course Coffee Cookie Beans!

The icing on the beans is coffee flavored.

Here's another fun cookie with the Starbucks theme.

Just in case you might not like coffee (can't even imagine) - Starbucks Hot Cocoa!

Two tall ceramic mugs to drink your Starbucks beverage of choice.

Don't you think it's time for a coffee break?

Six of each, coffee cup and spoon cookies.

I'm on a caffeine high.

My favorite was the Starbucks 'to go' cup cookie.

Finding things to create with coffee was addicting.

I had to make Starbucks Themed Chocolate Mocha Cookie Crisps...

Then had to have a taste...better hurry and package the rest for you.

They are Partiologist approved.

And you know the photo when the cookie is straight from the oven, with the chocolate melted and oozing out?

Yea, me too, but this isn't one of them. I ate that cookie.

It's still a great shot of the freshly baked Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies.

And trust me, they were good.

Because I used Starbucks Espresso Powder...and I have some for you too.

Once the cookies are gone, you'll want more so I've included the recipes. Both of which call for the espresso powder.

Along with the home baked goodies, I want you to enjoy your favorite Starbucks beverage.

So I've included a $20.00 gift card. I am in love with the look of this card, aren't you?

Each and every sugar cookie is carefully packaged.

No, this post is NOT sponsored by STARBUCKS. It's sponsored by my husband, because he let me buy and make all this stuff. Okay, he actually didn't know I bought and made all this stuff until it was too late.

﻿The Starbucks Giveaway will run from September 9th through September 12th, 2015. Entrants must be US residents, 18 years or older. Void where prohibited by law. Enter via the Rafflecopter. One winner will be chosen to win the entire prize pack and will have 48 hours to respond with their mailing information. If the winner does not respond in 48 hours, another winner will be chosen.

Hi Kim, I just saw this today. Your Starbucks Cookies are beautiful. I have to make a set of Starbucks cookies soon. Can you please tell me where you purchased your coffee stencils and the Starbucks mold. Also what shad of brown did you use for the beans please? Thanks. Kathy

For those that are wondering about the stencil and molds, I made the stencil myself and bought the molds on eBay. Also, Kathy, I used AmeriColor warm brown in the icing and also airbrushed the coffee beans with brown. For the coffee flavor in the icing I used LorAnn Oils coffee flavor. Hope this helps!
